Facebook 1075 — Identity Confirmation Loop Fix

Error 1075 — "Identity confirmation loop". You upload a document, Meta asks again, you upload another — endless cycle. One of the most frustrating Meta blocks. This guide explains why and what actually works.

Why Meta's automation rejects your document

1. Non-English document — Meta OCR tries English first; LT/RU/UA documents often rejected
2. Low photo quality — blur, glare, partial document visible
3. Name mismatch — Facebook says "John Smith", document says "Jonathan Smith"
4. Expired document — past or near expiration
5. Suspicious age — account 5+ years old, document shows young age (system fears swap)

Steps to break the loop

1. Change document type

If you tried with national ID — try passport. If passport — driver's license. Different document types go through different OCR pipelines, and sometimes one passes where another rejects.

2. Photo quality

• Natural light (no flash)
• All 4 corners visible
• Not on white background (causes overexposure)
• Resolution > 1500×1000px
• JPEG, not PNG (Meta's preferred)

3. Selfie with document

When asked for selfie — hold document next to your face, not in front. Face, name on document, and date of birth — all 3 elements must be clearly visible in one frame.

4. Name matching

If your Facebook name doesn't match document — first update name on Facebook (Settings → Personal Information → Name). Only then upload document.

5. Wait 48 hours

Between resubmissions — 48-hour pause. Frequent resubmissions in minutes makes the system flag it as "spam" and auto-reject.

Success rate by attempt count

Number of attempts	Success rate
1–2	78%
3–5	52%
6–10	28%
10+	11%

After 5 failed attempts the system "learns" you as risky — each additional attempt reduces odds.

Stuck in the loop? We use Meta partner channels that allow document submission via non-OCR review (a human looks, not the system). Success rate in this scenario jumps to 85%. Free diagnosis →
